Today I tried to install SNMP with the command
zypper in net-snmp
Last message was:
There are running programs which still use files and libraries deleted or updated by recent upgrades. They should be restarted to benefit from the latest updates. Run ‘zypper ps -s’ to list these programs.
It was the rpcbind service:
PID | PPID | UID | User | Command | Service
----±-----±----±-----±------------------±-------
742 | 1 | 495 | rpc | rpcbind (deleted) | rpcbind
I did a restart, but the system went into emergency mode.
I had to unmount every xfs and nfs filesystem, and now Linux is up again.
rpcbind is started from /sbin, but the entire directory has been deleted since the installation.
Please note:
Last week, I removed all SUSE snapshots, except the first one with the snapper tool.
But I deleted the directory /.snapshots/1/snapshot/sbin as described in how to delete a file in a snapper btrfs snapshot | Support | SUSE
And now the exact same directory is gone.
zypper has created 2 snapshots today during installation.
desapc6c:/.snapshots/1/snapshot # snapper --config root list
** # | Type | Pre # | Date | User | Used Space | Cleanup | Description | Userdata**

3 | post | 2 | Tue Jan 23 07:26:10 2024 | root | 3.22 MiB | number | | important=no
But neither snapshot 2 nor snapshot 3 contains the sbin directory.
